Company mission
Isometric's mission is to avert climate disaster by ensuring the transition to carbon removal happens responsibly and fast.
Role
Who you are
- STEM background advantageous, paired with 2-5 years of frontend software development within a fast-paced, product-focused and dynamic environment
- Collaborative mindset, leveraging open communication and teamwork for effective problem-solving
- Eagerness and curiosity to learn new things and ask all the questions. We are science-driven and expect everyone to get stuck into the climate world
- Bringing good energy and humility into how you show up. It’s a tough problem but we can’t give up
- You’re looking for a fully remote role at the moment. In the early stages of building our product we’re optimising for being physically together 3 days a week
- You enjoy structure and only staying within your area of expertise. We’re a small team early on the journey and things change quickly as we learn more
- You prefer a slower pace. While the problem we’re facing has a long time horizon, it’s also critical that we make meaningful progress on it today, not next quarter or year
What the job involves
- Join our technology function as a Mid-Level Frontend Engineer to accelerate the transition to carbon removal and combat climate change
- You will help develop a flexible software platform that enables companies purchasing carbon removal credits to understand and inspect, down to a source how, when, and if that carbon was truly removed, converted and stored permanently
- Define novel measurement, reporting and verification mechanisms that let the carbon removal industry scale
- Build software that takes complex carbon removal processes, calculations and measurements and turn them into simple UI that puts this data in context and helps even those new to climate change topics understand the quality of carbon offsets
- Own and/or support different product features with high degree of independence and autonomy
- Collaborate with science, data, product and design teams to build software that processes complex data to deliver clear answers
- Our engineers are diverse and product-minded with background experience in highly varied environments, from writing the first line of code at Day 0 start-ups, to building high scale systems at companies like Meta, Deliveroo or Shopify
Salary benchmarks
Our take
UK-based Isometric is building a critical infrastructure to facilitate the scaling of the carbon removal market which is attempting to reverse climate change, arguably the biggest existential threat to modern civilisation.
The company aims to bring transparency to the carbon dioxide removal industry by building rigorous measurement and verification technology to confirm that carbon removal claims are true.
A very green company in its early stages, Isometric is also well positioned for future growth when looking at its CEO's track record: Eamon Jubbawy co-founded and scaled a tech company to over $100M of revenue in just a few years.

Company values
- The world can’t wait: Reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere is critical. The world can’t wait for the product we’re building. We have to move fast. Tackling such a momentous challenge isn’t easy. So our team exudes good energy. We’re persistent and resilient. We always ask ‘how can it be done?’ over ‘can it be done?’. For us, optimism is self-fulfilling.
- Rigor: We prize rigor. We have relentlessly high standards for ourselves. We work whole-heartedly and single-mindedly. Problem solving at Isometric follows the scientific method. Before jumping into any task, we first define the intended result. We gather and analyze available data, uncover bad assumptions, make hypotheses about how the outcome might be achieved—then run experiments to complete the loop. All our actions are grounded in first principles thinking and emotional control.
- Good words: The best communicators usually win. So we’re intentional about our writing. We work to keep it clear, engaging and thorough. We’re also disciplined about tooling, information architecture and documentation. All three are superpowers when executed well. We think that frank communication leads to better decision making. We trust each other to be direct and give a lot of context—and we expect a high level of integrity as a result.
